Doesn't a warm little cup of apple-butternut squash soup sound amazing right now? I know, we just had lunch a few hours ago, but a light sweet-and-savory soup like this one hits the spot in the afternoon. Here's a recipe to try...

Guys, if you're not cooking and baking things with butternut squash this season, here's a little reminder to get roasting! I am continually amazed at the miraculousness that is butternut squash. Roast it up, cubed, with a little olive oil, in the oven and it's amazing how sweet it can get--almost as sweet as candy!

I tend to like butternut squash soup recipes that don't call for heavy cream. I like it just as much as any other gal, but who needs the extra 22 grams of fat, right?! Here's a recipe from Epicurious.com that looks really good--worth making up a big batch and bringing some to work in a thermos for a little lunch or afternoon treat! (You remember that apple and butternut squash happen to be the starring ingredients in my favorite ... baby food!)

Enjoy!
